Bioarchaeology and Paleoclimate Aspects of the Study of the Upper Don Region Population of the Middle Bronze Age
The paper presents the reconstruction of the lifestyle, environment, and climate conditions of the inhabitants of the forest-steppe zone of the East European Plain in the Middle Bronze Age. Presented study is based on the results of archaeological work on the territory of the archaeological heritage site «Volkhonskiye Vyselki 1, kurgan» carried out in 2021 by the expedition of the Lipetsk regional scientific public organization «Archaeological Research». The mound belongs to the Middle Don Catacomb culture and contains 9 graves. It was demonstrated that the climate at the time of the creation of the mound were more arid than at modern times by soil-archaeological method. Levels of mobile P forms in soils suggest that the site was used for feasts, both before the creation of the mound and after. The gender and age, osteometric and pathological characteristics of the skeletons of 15 buried are given. Because of the results of isotope analyzes it has been assumed that the diet of the deceased was based on plant food.
期刊介绍:
The journal is a good opportunity for a wide circle of archaeologists, historians, ethnologists and interdisciplinary researchers to participate in discussions and publish their works. The journal focuses on reconstruction and interpretation of cultural-historical processes on the vast spaces in the Volga region, the Ural and the North-Caspian region, which used to be, at times, a cross-point between Europe and Asia, not just geographically, but also culturally. These territories used to generate large-scale changes in the most remote geographic areas. A growing international attention to this exceptional macro-region of the ancient Eurasia makes the Povolzhskaya Arkheologiya journal a reputable platform, where specialists from different countries – from Finland, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania and Moldova to Ukraine, Kazakhstan and Mongolia – to exchange their opinions and ideas.
